What's new

Creation of Physical Links and Component Exchanges on same component

From Capella 6.1, Physical Links can be created between two ports on the same Node and also between a port and the container component through related palette tool, same for Components exchanges.

Multiple Component Exchanges/ Physical Links for the same pins/ports are supported now.

New filters in Capella Project Explorer

New filters are provided in both Project Explorer tree and commit history view to reduce the size and complexity of displayed elements:

Physical Path
Functional Chain
Operational Process
Communication Links (HIDDEN BY DEFAULT, like interface use etc ...)
Functional Exchange Categories
Component Exchange Categories
Physical Link Categories

Tree Filters are now consistent across the views

The semantic filters available on Trees (Transition wizard, Project Explorer, Commit History, REC/RPL), are now commonalized and available everywhere. (including the other diffmerge uses like model comparisons, Transition, REC/RPL, Requirement viewpoint, Project Explorer and Commit History)

Actors, Capabilities, Components, Data, Deployment Links, Exchange Items, Allocations (Function, Functional Exchanges, Component Exchanges), Functions, Generalizations, Interfaces, Property Values, Modes / States, Viewpoint elements.

New diagram filters to display FE with Exchange Item label in xAB diagram as in xDFB Diagram

Functional Exchange looping on the same function

A new validation rule DCOM_23 has been added to identify Functional Exchanges that are created on the same Function and loops on it, and some quickfixes to fix the model.

Semantic Browser improvement to show external references (Scenario or Functional Chain) for quick analysis & access

New Semantic Browser queries were added to display recursively "External Referenced Functional Chains" or Operation Processes, "External Referenced Scenarios" on Capabilities and Functional Chains or Operation Processes

Some more Semantic Browser information clicking on the blank of the Scenario diagram, i.e. related queries available on Scenario, and same for Functional Chains diagrams

Quick access to open/create Diagram by double clicking on Scenarios & its Interaction Use or Functional Chain & its Functional Chain Reference or Operational Process or Physical Path

For some Capella elements closely linked to their Diagrams (i.e. Scenarios, Interaction Use, Functional Chain, Functional Chain Reference, Operational Process, Physical Path), double clicks on it in all views/explorers/editors will directly open related diagram or propose to select the suitable one, or to create one in case it does not exist. From Capella 6.1, it will be the default behaviour to ease the daily usage and exploration of that elements.

Notes:

if "Navigate to related diagrams on double click" preference in Capella/Diagram is unchecked, double clicking on upper elements will open the Properties dialog, as usual.

From Capella 6.1, a new right click contextual menu "Show in Properties dialog" is available to open related Properties as a dialog on all cases.

Display the last modification date of a diagram in a Title Block

Adding a Title Block in a Capella diagram will provide information related to the name of the diagram, last modification date, summary and description.

The last modification date is available as an AQL query that you can reuse or custom through preferences.

The date format can be customized from the "Preference menu > Capella > Diagram".
